Yippee! I got working on Chapter 2… Anyway, read. Now. Or else… By the way, if you've noticed, I've changed my pen name.

VB: I have taken over this story! Mwahahahaha!

Yuan: You just changed your pen name…

VB-slaps Yuan- Be quiet!

Yuan: Ow! That hurt!

VB: Whine, whine, whine!

Yuan: …

VB: Good! Now stay that way!

Lloyd and Colette had called all the others of the group (Even Yuan:Hugs Yuan: ) to plan Kratos his birthday party. Unfortunately, nobody could decide to meet up. Finally, they came to a decision. They would meet up at Heimdall.

"So tell me, why are we planning a birthday party for a guy that's over 4000 years old… No offense Yuan." Zelos said raising an eyebrow. "None taken." Yuan said politely. "Well, he is my Dad. I want to do something special for him. Besides, I haven't done anything special for him for like…" Lloyd paused, trying to think how long it had been. Silence…

"What about you Yuan? Would you know? You are about the same age as Kratos." Colette asked as she turned to him. "Um… Well, I… Uh…" Yuan hesitated, sweat dropping down his face. "Well Mister know-it-all? Do you, or do you not know?" Zelos asked, practically making fun of Yuan. "S-shut up you idiot chosen! Your disposition will bring the downfall of you!" Yuan snapped at Zelos.

"Ah… Who really cares? We should do something special for him. He basically helped us defeat Mithos." Sheena said shrugging her shoulders. "Sheena's right! We should make him feel good about himself!" Genis said, more confidant then ever to make a birthday party for Kratos.

"Well? Let's get ready!" Lloyd said cheerfully. So everyone was divided into 3 groups of 3. Lloyd, Yuan, and Regal was one group. Sheena, Genis, and Presea were another. Finally, the last one was Zelos, Colette, and Raine. Raine wanted to protect Colette from that pervert redheaded Chosen. The first group went to get decorations, the second group was going to plan where the party was going to take place, and the third group was going to get the ingredients and snacks.

Lloyd, Yuan, and Regal made their way to Altamira to pick up some of the decorations from 8 months ago, when the worlds were unified. "Are these it?" Lloyd said picking up some banners and lights from a box underneath the desk in the office. "Yes, those seem to be them." Regal said examining them a bit. "I suggest we go back to Heimdall and wait for the others." Yuan said in an I-don't-want-to-be-here voice.

"Um…What about Mizuho?" Genis suggested pointing at Mizuho's new place in the new world, which was near Ozette. "No. What about Ozette?" Sheena shook her head. "It still suffers from the heavy attack from Cruxis." Presea shook her head. They all looked at each other, smiled, and yelled simultaneously "Meltokio!"

'Hmmm… Colette is with me. But so is Raine. If I try to hit on Colette, Raine'll slap me!' Zelos put some difficult thought into it. An idea struck him. Literally! An ancient piece of a building came flying to him, hitting him smack on the back of his head. "Ow!" His face fell flat on the dirt ground. He lifted his head from the dirt, and immediately saw what hit him. "An artifact…?" A wide grin came across his face. "Raine, my oh so Ultra Cool Super Beauty!" Zelos picked himself up, then the artifact, and ran towards Raine. "Don't call me that!" Raine snapped, turning around. "Anyway, what is it?"

Zelos tried to catch his breath. "I… found… this… artifact… on the… road…" He gasped still trying to catch his breath. "Here… you go." Zelos breathed, handing the artifact to Raine. "Oh my! It's a rare mini-statue of Pac-Man™!" Raine gasped examining the statue.

"Pac-Man™!" Colette squealed, being a big fan of the dot-eating guy, not noticing Zelos behind her. He was just about to kiss her on the neck too. He fell down, flat on his face. As he got up, he sobbed. "Not the face!" Almost immediately as he said that, a group of monsters appeared. "Ahhh!" Colette shrieked in surprise.

"We must be merciless!" Raine called out as she got out Hanuman's Staff, Zelos got out his Last Fencer, and Colette got out her Angel Halo chakrams.

They battled for what seemed like hours. In the end, Raine, Zelos, and Colette, emerged victorious. "That took precious time from our schedule!" Raine said in panic. "Well, then let's get going!" Zelos said as he brushed past Raine.

The group of Raine, Zelos, and Colette had reached the newly rebuilt Palmacosta, and were now searching the market place for snacks, and ingredients for the meal and the cake. Little did they know that something horrible was going to happen…

VB: Yeah, um… I might need to work on it.

Yuan: …

VB: That's seriously starting to get creepy…

Kratos: Oh. Yuan is narcoleptic.

VB: What!

Yuan: Zzzz…Zzzzzz…Zzz

Lloyd: R and R please!
